HbA does not underestimate ASG in CF as previously assumed. No alternate glycemic marker correlated more strongly with ASG than HbA. %GA shows strong correlation with ASG and added to the prediction of ASG beyond HbA. However, we are not advocating use of HbA for diabetes screening in CF based on these results. Further study will determine whether glycemic measures other than ASG differ among different types of diabetes for a given HbA.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
